The Energy Sector Reforms and Financial Sustainability Program, with three Subprograms, aims to

address fiscal, governance, technical, and policy deficits in Pakistan-s energy sector. This

programmatic approach and policy-based loans will finance three subprograms to be implemented in

underpinned on three pillars: (i) securing financial sustainability, (ii) strengthening

institutional and regulatory governance, and (iii) reinforcing infrastructure improvements.

Subprograms 2 and 3. The Subproject-s gender targets include (i) gender assessment of the energy

sector; (ii) development and adoption of gender mainstreaming policy framework for the energy

sector, (iii) gender capacity building of staff in power utility, distribution, transmission, and

generation companies, and (iv) training of technical staff of energy sector agencies, solar

technicians, and entrepreneurs.
The Asian Development Bank seeks a consulting firm to carry out the Subproject. The firm should

have (i) a solid capacity to conduct a gender diagnostic of the energy sector, (ii) strong policy

advocacy experience particularly in developing gender policies in relation to the energy sector,

(iii) extensive work with the energy sector in Pakistan, and (iv) expertise in designing and

implementing technical training on solar technology.
The consulting firm will implement the following: (i) produce a gender diagnostic of the energy

sector while establishing a baseline on women-s participation in the energy sector value chain, as

employees in sector organizations, service providers, entrepreneurs, and consumers; (ii) develop a

national gender mainstreaming policy for the energy sector; (iii) design and implement a

replicable technical training program to develop women as certified technicians and master trainer

agencies for the training graduates as solar technicians and master trainers and (v) design and
